Book of Bread, 1903
1106
11 color and 27 black and white photographs(8 tipped in), 2 pasted-in silver gelatin prints. A companion volume to 'that most excellent "Book of Cakes"', according to Simmons the Book of Bread is a monograph about the manufacture of bread and "however critical readers might be, they will be forced to admit that never before have they seen such a complete collection of prize loaves illustrated in such an excellent manner." Although the photographer was never credited, this book "one of the humblest, yet most essential of objects is catalogued as precisely, regorously and objectively as any work by a 1980s Conceptual artist".
